On 02/23/2024 at 8:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sikia Blue arrived for an unannounced required annual inspection for FCCH of Linda Francois. LPA met with licensee Linda Francois and guided analyst on a tour of the facility. Upon arrival there were 2 children present. Facility hours of operations are 24 hours. Licensee was reminded to not keep any child for a 24 hour period, to remain on the same floor with a sleeping child, and door must remain open. LPA toured all areas used by children during this visit.

Areas accessible to children were inspected to ensure that they are clean and orderly with ventilation. There is a working telephone in the home. Detergents, poisons, cleaning compounds, medications, and other items which can pose a danger to children are made inaccessible in the home.

Per licensee, there are no weapons or firearms in the home. Licensee has an up to code 3A40BC fire extinguisher and working smoke/carbon monoxide detector on the premises.

LPA inspected the backyard and observed a fully fenced backyard safe for children in care. LPA observed an ample supply of age-appropriate toys, equipment and furniture that appear to be safe and in good condition. LPA DID NOT observe any bodies of water.

Facility does provide transportation for children, but licensee understands that children cannot be left alone, unattended in parked vehicles.
